what are these bumps on the base of the transplanted hair?

[wouldLikeMoreHair]

hi all,
while looking at some 1 year post op pictures by this clinic, I noticed these bumps(?) on the base of the transplanted hair. They're very small but are definitely noticeable in this lighting, especially when you compare the transplanted hairs to the native hairs on the temples (no bumps). 

Is this normal and to be expected? or would this be considered 'cobblestoning' that should have been avoided by the surgeon?

Coblestoning

Hmm ok. Do you think it'll improve, or will it stay forever ?

coblestoning is scaring because of incorrect implantation depth, it doesnt improve

yeah looks like coblestoning unfortunately but it’s quite minor and your result actually looks really good lol

oh this isn't my result, was looking at some results from a clinic I'm potentially considering. 

 

thank you everyone for your input
